Bell tents with sea views on the Lizard Peninsula

It's simple really. Take a field with amazing sea views. Pitch four spacious tents in it and kit them out with all the essentials. And, you've got yourself Belle Camping. But this isn't just any field. Think Cornwall. Think Lizard Point. Think a field you can walk to on the South West Coast Path. In fact, pretty much everywhere on the Lizard Peninsula is within easy reach. This is a seriously special location.

First opened in 2022, Belle Camping offers tents that are off grid but on point: furnished with a proper double bed for grown ups and single camp beds for kids. All bedding and towels are provided, so there’s little for you to bring. There’s battery and solar-powered lighting and simple kit for cooking outdoors on your barbecue too. Even the charcoal is provided. Off-ground fire pits are available to hire and offer a focal point while you wait for the moon to rise up over the sea and the stars to brighten the night sky. Facilities—two bathrooms with a hot shower, a flushing loo and sink—are shared between all guests. With a maximum of four tents, and 16 people on site at any one time, the place never feels busy and is kept beautifully clean by host, Michelle.

She’s pitched her bell tents in a field on Gwavas Jersey Farm, just opposite the lovely Cadgwith Camping. It’s handy if you’re coming with friends who have their own tent or van as you can hop between sites and enjoy a campfire together. It’s also great for food. In the summer holidays, breakfasts and dinners are on offer on the campsite which means you don’t have to cook if you don’t want to. And there’s always fish and chips at the Cadgwith Cove Inn just down the hill where, if you’re lucky, you might hear the local fishermen singing a few sea shanties. Cagdwith is a lovely little fishing village that’s got a shingle beach – but if it’s long days on sandy shores you’re after head further up the coast to Kennack Sands or across the Lizard Peninsula to beautiful Kynance Cove. Both are within five miles, as is Lizard Point itself.

Bell tent · Sleeps 5
Belle Camping is an off-grid spot located just a couple of miles from the village of Lizard, the southernmost settlement in mainland Britain. With a central location on the Lizard Peninsula, the site is within easy reach of many of the best parts of Cornwall's south coast, with Porthleven to the west and Falmouth to the east. Belle Camping has a handful of well-maintained five-metre canvas bell tents, each of which is smartly furnished with colourful décor and comfortably set up for families or couples. All of the tents have access to shared facilities, including a clean toilet and shower; there is also a BBQ and seating area with each tent where you can sit back and relax in the open air. Other than that, there's no internet access or electricity here, but there is good phone signal. Although the weather in this part of the world is generally mild thanks to a southerly location, you might want to bring along some blankets for those nights when it does get chilly. All tents come with bed linens, towels Basic cooking equipment, cutlery, dinnerware, bbq and a bag of charcoal Breakfast and evening meal available from birdies catering a stones through away during peak season

Amazing Glamping at Belle Camping
Belle camping double
The bell tent was wonderful and the whole site is well designed and kitted out. The views of the Lizard from the campsite are beautiful and there is easy access to both the coast path and the nearby villages. Michelle and the site guys were friendly and helpful. Belle camping exceeded our expectations. And the Friday night pizza was amazing!

Michelle's beautiful bell tent is well named. She was the perfect host, provided in the tent everything you could want.. lights, games a barbecue too! we'd forgotten our coffee pot.. but not to worry, she provided everything a camp chef would need! The tent came with a toolbox too and she refreshed the ice boxes for us daily too. Lovely beds and setting was perfect..wr watched tje moonrise over the sea just across the field with her tip off, stunning. Great tips on where to swim etc.. the flushing toilet is a treat too! Car can be parked next to tent for extra convenience. Good vibes and comfort too!

Belle Camping Cornwall double
We had the most wonderful stay glamping in the beautiful bell tent! From the moment we arrived, Michelle gave us a fantastic welcome – she was incredibly accommodating and full of helpful local knowledge about the area. The tent itself was perfect – warm, spotlessly clean, and really well set up. It felt like a cosy home-away-from-home, and we settled in straight away. The surrounding area was absolutely stunning, with the tent fields overlooking the breathtaking Cornish coast – waking up to that view was truly special. Our dogs loved it too! They settled in quickly and had such a lovely time exploring. The location is ideal – just a short distance from Cadgwith Cove, the Lizard Peninsula, and the iconic Kynance Cove. One of the great added touches was the on-site catering van, which served up delicious breakfasts and evening meals – super convenient and tasty! We can’t recommend this place highly enough. It’s peaceful, beautiful, and full of thoughtful touches that made our stay extra special. Thank you so much for having us, Michelle – we’ll definitely be back!

Camping with a border terrier
Belle camping double
From the first message, Michelle was so accommodating. The directions (including helpful pics) were spot on. On arrival the tent was lovely, clean and well equipped. The views across the field to the sea were spectacular. There are ‘proper’ toilets and showers exclusively for the glamping tents. The food van ‘coastal cravings’ was a lovely touch. I had pizza the 1st night and Mac n cheese (with pulled pork) the 2nd! Then a full English for breakfast both mornings! Proper glamping!! The site is a very short walk from the SW coastal path for the walkers out there. Lizard one way and Cadgwith the other. Beautiful views which ever way you turn. Be prepared for hills. They can be steep. Although the pub and lobster rolls at the bottom of the hill to Cadgwith will make it worthwhile! Thank you Michelle (and Will) for being so welcoming.

Beautiful belle tents in an even more beautiful setting. If you are looking to explore south Cornwall then you would do well to stay here. Fantastic hosts who not only provide outstanding camping & glamping services but also operate an amazing food truck onsite too. Waking up to a beautiful scene with a bacon sandwich & great coffee made my stay!

Michelle is an incredibly helpful woman with an amazing campsite? We stayed in one of the belle tents and would absolutely come again! It’s right on the coastal path and a beautiful short walk to the closest village. The catering van is open breakfast, lunch and dinner which is super convenient and the amenities are cleaned daily.

We had a brilliant time at Belle Camping. The tents were kitted out with everything we needed with plenty of room for our family. We all slept really well and were warm and toasty. Loved being able to have a real camp fire. Lovely short walk along the SW coast path to Cadgwith and our only wish is that we had of tried out the fresh bread at the roadside stall along the way in St Ruan. Thanks Michelle - we will be back for sure!

Belle camping double
My family and I stayed in the 4 belle tents and we cannot wait to come back! The site is surrounded by the most amazing scenery, we loved waking up and seeing the sea view from outside the tent. The tents are so clean and cozy with a very comfy bed, they were also very wind and rain resistant! Michelle was a very attentive host, we were greeted on arrival and she would come back each day to refresh the toilets and see if anything was needed. The tents came with a box of utensils which was really handy to have and also Michelle would replace the cool box packs each day. It really is the little things that count! We are already planning our next trip to stay again!

Belle camping double
4 friends stayed together. Beautiful stars at night. We used the bbq no problem and made some amazing burgers. Woke up in the morning to see the sea and the sunrise so nice with cows just wandering around. Michelle was so lovely, she helped us arrive as we got a bit lost on the way. Wish we could’ve stayed longer to be honest. Nice hot water with showers as well is always a bonus.

We had a wonderful stay at Belle Camping and would definitely recommend. Private location and lovely sea view. The tent was cozy and well decorated, and it was super handy to have a whole box of cooking utensils. We were really happy that we were only a 5-minute drive away from Lizard’s point; we watched sunset and came back to site before dark. Host Michelle was friendly and very helpful.

Beautiful spot even when it’s raining! Come prepared with a gazebo for outdoor cooking and gas hob when it’s too wild to light the bbq and want a quick cup of coffee! Michelle was so lovely and helpful! Fantastic stay!

Stay at Belle Camping

Belle Camping Cornwall double
We loved the tent and the facilities were really good. Michelle is very lovely and polite person. She helped us getting settle down and asked if we need anything whenever she was around. She was easily reachable. Only one suggestion: if property can have electric plugs to charge phone or atleast a heating system in the tent that would be really awesome.

Nearby attractions

Belle Camping Cornwall is situated on Gwavas Jersey Farm, on the cliffs above the harbour village of Cadgwith (less than a mile). The South West Coast Path is just five minutes from the bell tents. You can use it to reach Cadgwith in about 10 minutes or head south on it towards Lizard Point (three miles), which will take around an hour – depending on how long you stop to look at the coastal views on the way. Walk a little further, or jump in the car for 15 minutes, and you can be at Kynance Cove (four miles) where there’s white sand, rocky stacks and turquoise water. Another great sandy beach close to the glamping site is Kennack Sands (two miles) just north of Cadgwith and then there’s Poldhu (six miles). The list of beaches and harbour villages and towns goes on and on. The best of them are highlighted in a guestbook that Michelle leaves in your tent along with other things to do including visiting Porthleven (13 miles), the Cornish Seal Sanctuary at Gweek (10 miles) and Flambards Family Theme Park (10 miles).

Food and drink

In high season (school summer holidays), head across the field to Cadgwith Camping and Birdies, a vintage caravan/field kitchen, serving home-cooked food at breakfast and dinner every day except Wednesdays. Out of season, tea and coffee is often available at Gwavas farmhouse. On Wednesdays, a fish BBQ down on the beach is a great alternative if you don’t want to cook, using freshly-landed fish from the boats. Money raised benefits Cadgwith Gig Club. And there’s always The Cadgwith Cove Inn, the village pub which serves food and has regular sea shanty singing sessions (on Fridays). Having at least a drink at mainland Britain’s most southerly pub, The Witchball, seems like something every visitor to Lizard should do – and there are other options in Lizard for refreshments too (three miles). Try the Top House pub, which has a good menu of pub classics or Coast coffee shop and bistro. For picking up supplies for cooking on the campsite, head for The Store in Ruan Minor, which has fresh bread, pasties and local produce or for Treleague Dairy which has a great farm shop. Both are about a mile away. The nearest supermarkets are in Helston, 10 miles away.
